To Scan:

The ScanPro 1000 is a What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get scanner/printer. When you have the image on the monitor screen (the total monitor image or a part of the image in the re sized CAPTURE WINDOW) that you want to scan, just click the appropriate export button (See the To Print, To Save, and To Email sections below). A high resolution scan takes about a second and includes all of our current settings.

The ScanPro 1000 uses graphic buttons to control the features of the scanner. Use the buttons to adjust the image before you export it.

RESOLUTION Resolution, measured in dpi, affects image appearance. Images scanned at a higher resolution (dpi) captures more information making the image appear better, but also takes up more disk space for storage. It is suggested that scans be mae at 300dpi as a balance between image quality and file size.

To Save:

Save as PDF, TIFF, and JPEG file types. You can also save multipage PDF and TIFF files. See below for more information.

Images will be saved as PDF files unless you specify otherwise.

TIFF image files are large. Save as TIFFs if you plan to archive, preserve, or publish the image.

GIFF and JPEG image files are smaller images. Save as GIFF or JPEG images if you plan to put the image in a slide presentation or on a Web site. Note: Do not save as a JPEG 2000 image because it requires a special viewer.

For each image that you would like to burn, click this button. Enter a file name, select a save as type (pdf, tiff, jpeg), and click the save button.

When finished, click the "Shortcut to CD drive" icon on the desktop. You should see all of your files under the heading "Files ready to be written to CD".
